An ENERGY STAR third-party testing requirement that went into effect at the beginning of the year is now being met with some resistance by manufacturers. The issue begs the question: When does the expense of efficiency labeling become cost-prohibitive?

To get Mr. Green's take on the situation, visit the Green Room.

SemiSouth is delivering industry's first 650 V silicon carbide JFET power transistors. The fast switching speeds, large current handling capability combined with the superior thermal properties of SiC makes these devices ideal candidates for power electronic applications. They employ vertical trench JFET structures, which allow for industry-leading on-resistance per unit area, as much as five to ten times lower than competing technologies.

PI's new video introduction to SemiSouth Silicon Carbide diodes demonstrates the performance you may be missing.
